Chapter 8: Q.13 (page 525)

A milk processor monitors the number of bacteria per millilitre in raw milk received at the factory. A random sample of 10 one-millilitre specimens of milk supplied by one producer gives the following data:

5370 4890 5100 4500 5260 5150 4900 4760 4700 4870

Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the population mean 渭.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The confidence interval for the population mean渭is(4794.4,5105.6)

explanation

Calculating the confidence interval CI,

n = 10

x-=4950and s =268.45

role="math" localid="1651643707213" 鈬�x炉卤zsn=4950卤2.021268.4510=(4794.4,5105.6)

the confidence interval is(4794.4,5105.6)

57. Critical values What critical value t* from Table B would you use for a confidence interval for the population mean in each of the following situations?
(a) A 95%confidence interval based on  n=10 observations.
(b) A 99%confidence interval from an SRS of 20 observations.

93% confidence Find z*fora93%confidence interval using Table A or your calculator. Show your method.

The weights (in pounds) of three adult males are 160,215and195. The standard error of the mean of these three weights is

(a) 190

(b) 27.84

(c) 22.73

(d) 16.07

(e)13.13

School vouchers A national opinion poll found that 44% of all American adults agree that parents should be given vouchers that are good for education at any public or private school of their choice. The result was based on a small sample.

(a) How large an SRS is required to obtain a margin of error of 0.03(that is, 卤3%) in a 99% con铿乨ence interval? Answer this question using the previous poll鈥檚 result as the guessed value for p鈭�.

(b) Answer the question in part (a) again, but this time use the conservative guess p鈭�=0.5. By how much do the two sample sizes differ?

Teens and their TV setsAccording to a Gallup Poll report, 64% of teens aged 13to 17have TVs in their rooms. Here is part of the footnote to this report:

These results are based on telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 1028teenagers in the Gallup Poll Panel of households, aged 13to 17. For results based on this sample, one can say . . . that the maximum error attributable to sampling and other random effects is 卤3percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question-wording and practical dif铿乧ulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the 铿乶dings of public opinion polls.16

(a) We omitted the con铿乨ence level from the footnote. Use what you have learned to determine the con铿乨ence level, assuming that Gallup took an SRS.

(b) Give an example of a 鈥減ractical dif铿乧ulty鈥� that could lead to biased results for this survey.
